Prologue
"I'm sorry… It was never meant to be like this…"
…
"Do it."
Brightness shines around the sole figure. As the figure steps forward, the figure slowly lose its shadow. The figure continuously steps forward as someone called out its name.
"Megurine… Luka…"
Luka POV
"Luka-san?"
"Eh?" as she wide her eyes after spacing out.
"Don't 'eh' me. Like I said, do you want to go to the prom with me? It's gonna be fun." The long purple ponytail guy, Gakupo casually ask me out to the prom.
Usually, I avoided with dealing with these popular guys as they kind of like teasing me. They see me as beauty with perfect figure plus a sweet voice. Why did I avoid them? Well, let's just say I have bad experience with boys, particularly with men.
"I'm sorry, I already have a partner. Well the, excuse me." I lied, but it's better than saying having no one.
"Then I'll try later. Your face shows that you're lying. It's too obvious" he said as he bring close his face to me. By means, too close.
"Then I declined. I have no interest in going to this prom in the first place. So go asking other girls. I'm pretty sure they would love to go with the amazing Student Council President." As I glaring to the girls hiding behind the palm tree just around the corner of this garden.
"Now that wouldn't do, Luka-san. It's would be boring if they won't be hard as you. You are lovely when you about to be taken on by my charms. That's how the President should be." As he proudly says it while his right hand hands out towards me.
"Now you're misused your power right here. Look, I gotta hit the books as my friends are impatiently waiting for me, right there, so could you try asking other people. You're wasting your time with me." As I show to the group of female with impatient looks.
"Fine, then I'll try later. See you later, Luka" as he winked his eye to me when he about to leave the area.
Weirdo. I swear, if I ever going out with that guy, surely I won't be to going on with my studies since he busy flirting me. I quickly head over to the girls. Then I am pulled over by brunette girl, Meiko.
"Your amazing beautifulness manages to make us make this time also. Seriously, why did almost every guy in our school falls for you? I mean, I got my own fans also but your fans increasing by days, months…" as she keeps speaking until she does not realize that I barely standing there taking the chances to talk with the greenish blue twin tails, Miku.
"So, did you manage to order it?" as I asked with full determination.
"Yes. I got it exclusively from the PIC itself. So you will receive it today. When you back home, it should be have arrived by then. I hope you like it." as she smiles at me. The smile that melting the hearts of male and affection of the girl you want to protect.
"Miku, you're so cute! Let me hug you!" as her face falls at my chest. For a moment, her face blushed red. Then she resist and back off from my chest.
"Luka-chan, as usual, your 'good point' never fails even for the girls." As the green hair girl explain.
"Gumi, I like Miku. So it's neutral for us to be this close, right?" as I tried to hug Miku again, but she ran away to Meiko back.
"Hey Luka, did you just avoid my lecture just then?" as she showing her rage at me for running away from her talks.
"Um, well, you see… There's this phrase, 'If you don't like it, then don't'" as I think rationally without denying that I avoid her lecture.
"Well, whatever. Whatever we said to you, it won't be too much effective. I guess that makes you special among the other girls." As I blushed a little which I touched by the Meiko words.
As we walk, we arrived at the main gate of the school. Since my residence is at another side of the girls, we usually farewell at the front gates. For me, it's normal to walk alone, because I learn martial arts when I was little which I have confidence when I'm in danger. Though, it seems that my neighborhood is a good place and fewer crimes.
"What should I do? The 'thing' that Miku bought for me is kinda take a long time to unpack, so I might have less time to finish my homework. Maybe I should ask for her help." As I walk towards to my apartment room, I go to the next door neighbor. I ring the bell.
"I'm coming! Yes, oh, Luka-san. What's matter?" the long peach hair, IA standing before me.
"Ah, IA. Good, I need your help." As I hold her hands. She did blushed a little and nod in agreeing.
After some time, we finished our homework. IA known for natural genius, that's why she does not go to school. A special treatment I guess, but only I know that she live here also her only honest friend. That's why she does not mind if she helps me with my homework. Now that's done, it's time to unpack the 'thing'. Now that I realized, it's not here. The 'thing' is not here!
"It's not here… it's not here? What?!" as I shocked that my items it's not here at my room!
"Luka-san, what's the matter?" As IA look at me as she would like to lend a hand. Looks like I make her worried since I became worried all sudden.
"No, there's nothing. How about we go back to your room? Your parents must be worried for being in my room too long. Let's go." She nods in agreeing and I'm accompanying her home even though next door. After that, I quickly return to my room and searched it. After an hour searching, there's nothing.
"It couldn't be… that it already… no, it should be able to. Maybe they postpone the delivery and return tomorrow." With that, I quickly hygiene myself and off to bed in disappointment.
The next day the 'thing' should be arrived. Or so I thought.
